"In the central role, Rogowski is a marvel to behold, with his cleft lip, throaty mumbling, wiry physique and sinuousness, his Tomas is an unconventional but passionate lover one finds very difficult to resist, also Sachs's camera really loves him, sexing him up in various tantalizing angles, customarily in the buff. The sex scenes are bold and riveting, with Whishaw vehemently shattering one's preconception of the designated roles in a gay couple, which is also very fluid. As the two supporting stanchions, both Whishaw and Exarchopoulos hold on their own staunchly, even the script doesn't purvey them any chance of upstaging (still, one must hand it to Whishaw's snot for the amusement)."
